In front of the gate of the Flame Film Company, Wang Yang looked up at the "Flames-Films" sign hanging on it, as well as the company logo next to it, with a soft smile on his face, and said, "This is my company." ”

Harry George, who was wearing a peaked cap, also looked up and said, "I know, I already knew." But ......" his fat face was full of seriousness, and said, "Dude, from the eyes of a photographer, your company logo is terrible, as long as the flame is good, why add a moth and a butterfly?" He spread his hand and frowned, "It's like someone ordering a french fries, but there is a hamburger and a cola on the plate!"

"It seems that you miss McDonald's a lot!" Wang Yang had an angry expression, and shrugged his shoulders again: "And isn't that great? Buy French fries and give away hamburger and cola." Harry shook his head in disgust and said, "It's not good at all, it's just those coupons that turned me into a fat man." Wang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Without a coupon, you are also a fat man." Okay, leave the logo alone, follow me!" he said, and walked inside the office.

Harry followed, looking around curiously, and while his mouth couldn't stop babbling, "Hey, what are you bringing me here for......?"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wang. The company's front desk lady, Olo Lally, greeted Wang Yang with a smile when she saw Wang Yang walk in. Wang Yang nodded at her and smiled, "Good afternoon, Olo." Harry's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful Olo Lally, and he walked over and stretched out his hand and said, "Oh, hello, my name is Harry George, can I meet you?" Olo Lally shook his hand and smiled, "Olo Lally." ”

"Hey, fat guy!" Wang Yang shouted from the front. Harry reluctantly let go of Olo Lally's hand and ran to follow, the fat on his cheeks trembling, and he said suspiciously, "Where the hell are you going?"

Wang Yang took the fat man around the busy office, passed through a corridor, and came to a storage room. Wang Yang took out the key and opened the door, the room was dark, he walked in, smiled at Harry-George behind him and said, "Harry, look at it!"

Harry's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at the contents of the room, and let out a dull expression: "Wow......"

"Wow......" Wang Yang also said softly, his eyes full of satisfaction.

This storage room company is specially used to store photographic equipment, and the basic equipment needed for "Singing and Dancing Youth" has been rented back by the company, and they are all placed here and neatly placed. Pitch-black 35mm film camera, recording microphone railcar, diffuser, reflector...... There are also boxes of blank film stacked in the corners, ready to turn into movie scenes.

"See?" Wang Yang looked at Harry, walked to the film camera, and said, "Everything is ready, the actors have been found, the crew has been set up, and the equipment is ready." In a few days, as soon as the venue is connected and Thanksgiving is over, we will start filming "Youth Musical". He fiddled with the film camera in his hand, and his eyes were on the camera's viewfinder, and he felt a fire in his heart, and sighed: "Harry, this is not a DV movie, this is a real film movie! I am about to become a real director, and my dream is about to come true." ”

Harry George nodded silently, a congratulatory smile on his fat face, and said, "Young, you're doing well." ”

"Thank you. Wang Yang laughed and shouted at him, "Brother, come here, what are you doing standing there, come here." Harry looked at the camera, his heart beating fast, and walked slowly. Wang Yang patted the film camera in front of him and smiled at the fat man: "Don't touch it?"

"Can I touch it?!" Harry's eyes widened, seeing Wang Yang smile and nod, he was suddenly a little at a loss, his right hand rubbed on the T-shirt several times, before he trembled and stretched out to the body of the film camera, when his hand just touched the camera, he retracted like an electric shock, gasping cold: "Oh my God, my God......"

His hand trembled again, touching the lens cover of the camera, the film box and other places, his face flushed, as if he was touching a lover, and muttered to the camera, "Oh my God, oh crazy...... Baby, why are you so cute, oh my......"

"Yes, it's cute, beautiful, and insane. Wang Yang said with deep sympathy, he gave up his position, let Harry George walk to the back of the camera, the big fat man held the camera's direction handle in one hand, and held the camera body in the other, his face was full of obsession, as if he was shooting a movie now, and he was a photographer, he suddenly heard Wang Yang say: "My camera crew needs a chore, maybe I can do some assistant work, can you come?"

Hearing this, Harry shuddered, turned his head to look at Wang Yang, pointed at himself in disbelief, and said, "Oh my God, I heard you right, you invited me?!" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I think you heard it right." Harry's breath became short, and he blushed, "Man, can I do it?"

"Harry, never say no to yourself. Wang Yang said seriously, looked at Harry with a sluggish face, spread his hands and smiled: "Please! James Cameron can go from a truck driver to a director who makes the world crazy, you ask yourself, why can't I go from a McDonald's waiter to a best cinematographer? Remember what your business card says? 'Photographer Harry George'! You are a photographer, this is already a change; you will become a cinematographer, things are man-made!"

Harry's breathing became heavier and heavier, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and Wang Yang smiled and said, "Harry, Valey Pfister will be the photographer of "Youth Musical", and he said that your qualifications are very good, and he has agreed to let you be his handyman, but he said that you need to lose weight. ”

"I'll minus!" Harry suddenly jumped up, hugged Wang Yang, his eyes were red, and shouted incoherently: "Yang, I love you to death, you are amazing, you are the best friend, you are really good......"

Wang Yang was forced to hug his fat body, listening to the fat man's excited words, another voice full of resentment faintly sounded in his ears, "You will definitely fail! We are such people, losers, failures! failure! failure......" He smiled in his heart, Harry, do you understand, that is the meaning of the logo, we are not born beautiful butterflies, we may have been losers, but we have undergone transformation, after the baptism of flames, we will be more beautiful than butterflies!

"Harry, you're doing well too!" Wang Yang patted Harry on the shoulder, smiling happily.

※※

After signing the contract, Valey Pfister officially became the cinematographer of "Youth Musical", and George Harry was offered a job as a camera crew chore. After getting the photographer selected, the preparation of the crew was basically completed, everything was ready, and a few days later, the company also contacted the location needed for the shooting, "Salt Lake City East High School" in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This is where the original film was filmed, and I chose this because it was easy to design and master the lens, and because the school had a good geographical environment with mountains on all sides, which made it a good movie.

Flame Movie has already arranged the shipping of camera equipment, set props and other things, but the crew will not leave for the time being, because it is Thanksgiving Day soon, and after this big holiday, the whole crew will leave for Salt Lake City to start filming.

On Thanksgiving, families get together for a great dinner and a fragrant turkey.

In the brightly lit room, Jessica was lying on the bed humming a song, flipping through a cooking magazine, carefully reading the introduction to Thanksgiving food, and from time to time muttering to herself, "What kind ......of food do you want to make?"

"Ahem, Jessica, I have something to tell you!" Joshua was standing in the hallway outside the room, knocking on the door that hadn't been closed with a serious face. Jessica glanced up at him and said, "Just say anything, I'm preparing dinner for Thanksgiving." Joshua walked in with a straight face, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "I think about it, I think Jan may be a ...... Base. ”

Jessica glared at him, sat up with the magazine, and said, "Don't make such boring jokes, Joshua, it's not funny at all!"

"No kidding, I'm serious. Joshua scratched his hair and said strangely: "You think about Rachel's birthday, Michael Pitt was wearing that T-shirt with a star pattern, I remember it was Young's......" He said unconvinced: "And when playing cards, I can feel that the two of them are always eye-browning, so they always win!"

Jessica pouted, the reason came out, this guy had been thinking about it from the beginning to the end of the last time he played cards, and now he thought of Yang Shiji again. She continued to look at the magazine, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, don't talk about this." Anyway, I'm sure Jan isn't a base, I can feel it's not. After a pause, she whispered again, "Moreover, Jan used to have a girlfriend." ”

"Then tell me why he is so good to Michael Pitt, and they are not related!" Joshua frowned and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Jessica, I read a book that says that there are a lot of homosexuals who don't know they are gay at first, but over time, he knows about it, and he will show it...... Maybe the reason why Jan broke up with his girlfriend was because he was a guy!"

"You're the key!" Jessica rolled her eyes and explained, "Jan told me that he saw himself in Michael Pitt and felt that Michael's temperament was a good fit for a role, and that's why!" she looked at Joshua and said in a decisive word, "Don't say this again, I know it's not, understand?!"

Joshua shrugged his shoulders, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said, "Okay, then when Jan is not a key, then why is he...... You know. He laughed and said a little gloatingly: "Blind people can see that you are interested in Jan, and it is impossible for Jan not to see it, but he is indifferent!" Jessica glared at him and gritted her teeth, and Joshua said proudly: "Jessica, I have too much experience in love, and Jan is very abnormal like that, there are only two reasons, one, he doesn't like you, and two, he is a base." ”

Jessica hahaha a few times, closed the cooking magazine in her hand, and said mockingly: "Oh, it's so rich, it's not just once, and it was dumped by someone else!" Joshua coughed and said, "It's twice! I'm not like you're a rookie anyway." Jessica raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "That's because I don't want to, there are more people who want to be my boyfriend." Joshua muttered, "Not including Jan?" Jessica picked up a pillow and slammed it at him, "I don't want to talk about that, especially with you kid, get out for me." ”

Someone was annoyed...... Joshua stood up and went outside. At the mention of the word "boyfriend", Jessica suddenly remembered something, and called out to him: "Come back! Let me ask you, what's the matter with that Jack?" Joshua, who turned around, was stunned and said suspiciously: "Jack? What Jack?" Jessica frowned, also with a puzzled expression, and said: "Jack-Frank? I don't know, it was strange that Jan suddenly asked me 'How is Jack?' that day. ”

"Jack-Frank?Jack?" Joshua muttered repeatedly, as if there was a clue in his head, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered with an "oh", looked at Jessica with some embarrassment, and said, "Hmm...... Maybe it was before, you know, at that time, in order to protect you, I seemed to tell Jan that Jack was your boyfriend. ”

"What !?" Jessica suddenly exclaimed, jumped out of bed, her beautiful eyes were full of shock, and said, "Jack-Frank, my boyfriend!?my boyfriend!?when did I have a boyfriend?hell!" She remembered the way she wanted to speak that day, could he have misunderstood? Jessica walked a few steps a little anxiously, glared back at Joshua, and said angrily, "I really want to beat you up! Why are you so annoying?!"

Joshua raised his hand in surrender and said, "I didn't mean to, I thought Jan was a slut at the time......" Seeing Jessica gritting her teeth to find a weapon, he hurriedly said: "OK, OK, I understand what you're worried about, but I don't think Jan will get me wrong, he went to your birthday party, I remember Jack Frank was there that day! Jan can see your attitude towards Jack, he's not a fool." ”

Jessica lowered the pillow in her hand with a frown, Joshua had a point, Jan should have known...... Jessica immediately interrupted the thought by shaking her head, she could feel something different, but could it be that she was feeling wrong......

Seeing her gains and losses, Joshua couldn't stand it anymore, he spread his hands and said, "Please, Jessica, just confess! He said with a serious face, clenched his fists, and said, "Don't you know? Some Chinese are so subtle, we should take the initiative!"

"Stupid!" Jessica simply rejected the offer, what would happen if Jan refused? She shuddered when she thought about it, she couldn't receive Young's letter before, thinking that she had been rejected, that kind of frustration and pain, she didn't want to do it again! And "Youth Musical" was about to start filming, and if she was rejected, she might not be able to perform well...... Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "No!"

Joshua frowned and thought about what to do, and he looked around, and suddenly saw that the cover of the cooking magazine said, "What to eat on Thanksgiving?", his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I have a great idea!" So, you invite Jan to our Thanksgiving dinner, the kind of family dinner. You made it clear that you were just inviting him alone! I wonder if he would still understand this hint?"

"What's the difference between this and confession?" Jessica looked at him and asked, Joshua said confidently, "It's different, the reason for inviting him can be because of a good friend! Why only invite him? You think for yourself!" Jessica frowned, thought about his words, waved her hand and said, "Go out, don't bother me." ”

Joshua shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the room. As soon as he left, Jessica closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed with her mobile phone and thought for a long time, her heart beat faster and faster, and only after a long time did she exhale, dialed Wang Yang's number, and said with a smile: "Hi, Yang, good evening!"

"Hi Jessica. Wang Yang laughed at the phone, he was sitting at the desk in the bedroom at this time looking at the book that the director had learned, and when he received Jessica's call, he closed the book and chatted with her. After chatting a few words, he heard Jessica laugh and say, "You know, it's Thanksgiving in two days, will you go back to San Francisco?" Wang Yang shook his head and smiled: "No, I won't go back." "He's going to be back on New Year's Day, and of course, he's going to call home on Thanksgiving.

Jessica pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, I'm preparing a great Thanksgiving dinner, and I'd like to invite you to my house that day, okay?"

"Wow, of course!" Wang Yang agreed with a smile, and said happily into the phone: "It's really exciting." ”

She took a deep breath, but the rate of her heart kept rising, and Jessica suddenly shouted, "Yang, ......" Her voice almost trembled, "It's just you, okay...... Sorry, the turkey I prepared was not very big......"

"Oh!" Wang Yang's heart jumped, and he suddenly realized what she really meant, and his heartbeat accelerated a little, listening to Jessica's suppressed breathing, he nodded heavily and said, "I know, thank you for the invitation." ”

"Good night, then!" Jessica hung up the call as soon as she heard him agree, as if afraid that he would suddenly change her words again. She exhaled and collapsed limply on the bed, staring at the ceiling, a sweet smile of longing slowly blooming on her face.

Hearing the beeping sound, Wang Yang put down his mobile phone and said softly: "Good night." "Thanksgiving dinner...... He sighed, picked up Little Women on his desk, flipped a page, and pulled out the photo that was sandwiched inside.

Looking at the blonde girl in the photo, Wang Yang's face sank like water, remembering a lot of the past, and faintly heard the crying voice in his ears: "Yang, you are a bastard! I hate you! You go to death!" That was the first and only time he saw her weak side, she was always so characterful, with her own opinions, and never so out of shape...... Looking at the girl in the photo, he muttered, "How are you lately?"

He thought he had forgotten all about that sweet time, but he didn't. Why do they quarrel? Their relationship is so good, so good that they don't have to hide themselves, so they both expose their true selves, they start to ignore each other's feelings, they start to demand each other in their own way, they think that's good, and then something uncomfortable happens. It's not that they hate each other, they just care too much about each other......

Scenes seemed to appear in front of him, and Wang Yang couldn't help but clench the photos in his hand.

"I'm going to USC, and I'm telling you, I'm going to be a director in the future. "I don't care what kind of director I am!" "Why don't you like me as a director???" "It's not that I don't like you as a director, but you know, I'm going to Stanford's business school, and you should go to Stanford, it's a better development!" "Fuck Stanford! What am I going to do at Stanford??Going to business school with you!?Not to mention whether they can hire me or not, I don't like it!I'm going to be a director, I'm going to make movies, why don't you support me?!"Jan! I beg you, go to Stanford for my sake! You know, so we can stay together......"

"I'm waiting for you at Stanford......"

"No, I'm waiting for you in Los Angeles!"

Then, he went to USC, got that phone call, and also saw her weak side.

Wang Yang looked at the girl in the photo, suddenly gritted his teeth, tore the photo into two and then four, slammed it on the ground, and gasped and scolded: "Fuck Stanford!"
